"Mister Jeremy," greeted Edmund with a bow. "Mister Lucas had asked me to return your car and to convey his gratitude to you for lending him the car yesterday. If not, he and Miss Anya would be stuck waiting on the Yonder Bridge for at least two hours or so for someone to get them."

"If he's so grateful, why isn't he here personally to thank me then?" asked Jeremy indifferently.

Edmund had spent many years working under Lucas to know how to deal with this kind of situation. However, he still could not help but feel a little pressure when it came to dealing with Jeremy.

"My deepest apologies, Mister Jeremy. Mister Lucas is away on a business trip. Otherwise, he would've personally come to thank you."

Jeremy wordlessly cut the bacon in his place as if he was the only person in the dining room. What Edmund said might have worked on other people, but not on him. It was obvious to him that Lucas was not sincere about thanking him.

Edmund remained awkwardly standing where he was. Then,

    "And this is how you repay her? Well, I guess it'll be foolish of me to expect anything less than the Rivera family. You must've been taught that it's only right to repay those who helped you with revenge!"Sunny felt both bitter and ashamed at having to admit to doing something he did not do. However, he had no choice but to shoulder the burden for the sake of Anya and Lucas."No, that's not true. Lucas and Anya had always taught me to not bite the hand that feeds me! It's just that I was too stupid to pay their words any mind. I now know I was in the wrong for slandering Corinne."Jeremy, it was I, and I alone, who did this. It doesn't have anything to do with my family, so please don't drag them into this. I'm willing to take whatever punishment you have in mind for me."Jeremy scoffed. His face was as black as thunder. "How dare you tell me who I should and should not punish when you're the sinner? My poor wife helped your grandfather out of the kindness of her heart, and what

    Anya's eyes were completely red from all the crying. She forced back another round of tears and said, "I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't cry, but I'm just worried about Sunny…"Sunny's heart immediately went out to Anya. He held on to her trembling shoulders and said, "Anya, don't worry about me. I'll be okay. I'm willing to bear the responsibility alone and will accept any punishment from Jeremy, so why don't you go back with Edmund first?""But Sunny…" Anya could not get any further with her words as she was sobbing too much.Corinne laughed and said, "Miss Anya, I must say I really admire you."Sunny looked at Corinne with a puzzled expression on his face. 'What is she laughing about?'Anya was stunned. She turned her doe eyes to Corinne and asked innocently, "Corinne, whatever do you mean by your words? You admire me?"Corinne nodded. "Yeah, I really admire you. You have a bestie who was willing to do everything to set me up for you, though it's quite unfortunate she eventually e

    Corinne simply scoffed.Anya watched the interaction between Corinne and Jeremy. How they were behaving was nothing out of the ordinary, yet it was the most intimate she had ever seen Jeremy being with another woman. Her eyes sank and she clenched her fists tightly, so tightly that her fingers dug into her palms.At that moment, Edmund also felt like they were intruding on something, so he quickly took out something he was sure Jeremy would be interested in."Mister Jeremy, Mister Lucas asked me to give this to you. This phone used to belong to the female influencer. The original video remains untouched on the phone. We hope this will help you clear up all those unfounded rumors about Missus Holden."Jeremy glanced at Tommy, signaling him to take the phone.Tommy immediately took the phone from Edmund's hand and checked the video stored inside. It was as Edmund said; only then did he nod at Jeremy."Mister Jeremy, how do you intend to punish Mister Sunny?" asked Edmund.Jeremy d

    Jeremy narrowed his eyes at Anya before turning back to face Corinne with a questioning look, asking her what he should do.Corinne furrowed her brow. 'Why is he looking at me like that again? What… Is he asking me to be the bad guy here 'cause he's too embarrassed to turn down his 'savior'? Man, he's really devious, huh? Oh well, I'll help him out this one time, seeing as how he's been really nice to me for the past few days.'Corinne rested her chin on one hand and lazily turned to look at Anya. "Miss Anya, you know that your brother's subordinate can't be late to work, yet you don't seem to realize that this applies to your Jeremy, too."The combination of the word 'your' and 'Jeremy' caused the man beside her to frown.Anya felt wronged. The corners of her eyes turned down, making her look even more fragile and innocent. "No, Corinne. I didn't mean it like that… I just thought that it'll be fine if Jeremy is late since he's the boss of the company, whereas Edmund is just an ord

    Sunny stayed behind in the dining room, waiting for Corinne and Jeremy to give out his punishment.The maid placed a steaming hot plate of breakfast food in front of Corinne, who was so hungry that she immediately dug in. As she was shoveling the bacon and egg into her mouth, she sensed a pair of eyes boring into her. She did not know how to describe the look, but the closest she could get was that it felt like she was being entwined by a flaming thread that was getting tighter around her body.She instinctively frowned and glared at Jeremy. "Mister, why are you still here? Shouldn't you be off to work right now?"Jeremy furrowed his brow in mock anger. "You just can't wait for me to leave, huh?"Corinne shook her head. "No, it's not like that. It's more like you've finished your breakfast, so instead of wasting your time here, shouldn't you head off to work where your staff is waiting for you?"Jeremy pursed his lips and said, "There's no rush."Corinne twitched the corners of h

    Corinne completely ignored Sunny. Instead, she yawned, walked past him, and up the stairs. She had only one thing on her mind, and that was to go back to sleep.Sunny was dumbstruck. He chased after her unhappily and said, "Hey, Corinne! Aren't you going to punish me? Hello?"Corinne paid him no mind and continued walking up the stairs.Anger began to rise in Sunny. He did not like being ignored and was about to go upstairs to give her a piece of his mind when Bowen grabbed his arm and said, "Mister Sunny, Ma'am would like to take her nap now. Why don't you wait for her to wake before asking her to punish you?"Sunny furrowed his eyebrows. "Why is she so lazy? It's already late morning and she still wants to sleep?"Bowen did not like anyone from the Rivera family talking like this about his employer, so he dropped his usual politeness and said, "In any case, you're not to bother Ma'am. You're to wait for her quietly until she decides to come down on her own accord!"He then inst

    Everything originated from Jeremy's change of attitude toward her.Corinne waved her hand and said, "It's fine. I'll get lunch on my own."Bowen hurriedly asked, "Where are you going, ma'am? Shall I ask the driver to send you there?"Corinne walked toward the gate and said, "No thanks. I was thinking of going out for a walk anyway."Bowen still did not feel at ease. "Umm... Did you bring your cell phone with you? Is it fully charged? That'll make it much easier for Mister Jeremy to look for you. It'll be terrible if something happens to you and he can't contact you."He remembered when Jeremy came back from a business trip and was unable to reach Corinne after she did not return the entire night. Jeremy searched frantically for her throughout the night and barely stopped short of turning the entire city upside down.Just thinking of this left Bowen feeling horrified.Corinne changed her shoes at the entrance while saying, "Don't worry. I won't lose it! You should get back to wha

    Sunny scratched his head. "Well, my sister said that the conflict between the Riveras and the Holdens will deepen if no one comes forward to take responsibility. If that happens, her relationship with Jeremy will be affected..." His voice unconsciously became softer as he spoke.At that moment, he realized how inappropriate it was to talk about his sister and Jeremy in front of Corinne.Corinne, however, did not care at all and simply curled her lips in a smirk. "Will you die for your kind sister if she tells you to?"Sunny nodded without thinking. "Of course!"Corinne could only give him a thumbs up. "What an awesome younger brother you are!"Though her words and actions were that of praise, Sunny felt that it was a little weird, almost as if there was some deep yet negative implication in her praise. Still unconvinced, he followed Corinne and asked again, "What do you mean by that, Corinne? My sister treats me the best, and I can't just leave her to die if she's in danger. My li

    Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

    "Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

    With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

    Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

    Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

    Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

    "Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

    "Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

    Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
